Rye’s Great Annual Events That Still Draw The Crowds

There has been a lot of talk recently on reviving many of the old annual events staged in Rye but which, over the years, have fallen by the wayside.

Rye Sports Day, Rye Medieval Festival, Miss Rye, The Raft Race and Rye in Bloom to name just a few. It is hoped the meeting on Wednesday 9 February will be the start of getting at least two of these old classics back on the Rye Programme.

But tonight lets spare a thought for all the hard working folk who already provide the town with ongoing annual favourites that we all enjoy. These are just a few, there are others including the Jazz Festival and the Maritime Festival. Well done to all those behind the scenes that help to make Rye tick.
